I am able to make a hardcopy to a floppy, but for convieniece, I'd like to be able to port the file directly to the machine that is running the code for the scope.

Please let me know if this is even possible.

Perhaps reading the Programmer's Manual would be nice place to start.

I've read through it.

There doesn't seem to be any way to do this, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything.

The most relevant thing I have found is the HARDCopy: PORT command, which takes FILE, GPIb, RS32, and ETHERnet as arguments.

Obviously, since I am already able to make a hard copy to a floppy, I have been using HARDCopy: PORT FILE. My question is if the 3034B supports making a hard copy over GPIB or ethernet as well. I can see from the manual that some of Tektronix TDS scopes do, but I can't find anything about my specific TDS 3034B.

--edit: got rid of smileys.

Here's a stupid idea:  TRY IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!! (Sorry, had a little Dennis come out of me).

Yes, that scope will do the HARDC:PORT GPIB.  I would also highly recommend setting the file type to a PNG as that will greatly decrease the file size from a BMP.  See this post for the exact commands I used to perform the hardcopy on a TDS3000 series scope.
